These are cool. I really want the Bloodshot one! I wonder if they are going to be 1:20 or not?

I don't believe these are retailer incentive variants. I believe these are more like the pullbox program. The solicitation indicates these are "Order All" books.
Spooooon!!!!

Yes, these are like pullbox, except they're not using the term "pullbox"... it's just an "order all you want" kind of variant.

Is that what "Order All" means? I took it to mean that someone that ordered all of the books could also order the variants, like the pullbox but a bit more hardcore. :?

I'm just glad it was pretty good, long and drawn out. (that's what she said.)

I also thought it meant you had to order all the titles, but it doesn't. It's not the regular edition, but you can order all you want/need.

Two covers (regular and design) on all titles that month except X-O #6.
No special requirements for getting the design variants.
X-O #6 has the only 1:20 and 1:50 books.

I didn't see a X-O #6 1:50 listed for October anywhere. Any details on this?

It's the "right half" of the Zircher image for X-O vs. Ninjak

Here's the "left half", which is 1:20...

Holy freaking shiet! Aja is awesome. These are based on Aja's character design-only, I'm assuming. I don't think that Aja did and design work for X-O.

Greg - do you mean X-O #5? I think that the 1:20 and 1:50 are for X-O #5. Just curious.

Do we know if that Zircher cover for #6 is a 1:20 or a 1:50?
